If so Mark, I have like 2 sets of used ones you can have for free. I don't know the condition but you can have them. I'd be lerry of the MP shafts, I would not buy them from MP personally. I'm lerry of everything MP.

Rockauto shows shafts for about half priced and arms a bit less than the MP stuff you posted. They say there are no such thing as a stupid question. They say there is always the exception that proves the rule. Don't be the exception.

I did not know that they were available from vendors outside of MP. That's why I asked! Hopefully the Sealed Power ones haven't become garbage quality........... 67 Coronet 500 9.610 @ 139.20 mph 67 Coronet 500 (street car) 14.82 @ 94 mph 69 GTX (clone) - build in progress......

They have stuff made to their specifications, with their advertising gimmicks added, like a splash of purple paint on a camshaft. I wonder how many thousands of camshafts have been sold on the basis of that splash of purple paint? R.
